You sure it is that simple? I don’t think you can just lose a top 5 pick. Plus players will likely know what awaits newly formed clubs in terms of performance and ladder positions.

Unfortunately I don’t think he’ll be there at pick 4. Hawthorn / Norf will likely grab him before we do. 

Where are we getting pick 4 from?

    I'm on record not wanting to draft McKercher and the better he is, the stronger my conviction.

    If he lives up to expectations he'll be off to captain the inaugural Tasmanian team just when we need him to take the reins from an aging midfield. Yes we'll get good draft compensation but we won't be in the phase needing an 18yo mid.

    Bookmark it.

    That's some Nostradamus level foresight .I'll take 4 years of mcKercher while our current window and if he reaches the levels you suggest if being a walk up captain for a new Tasmanian team chances are he's helped us Jag another flag. Best available without crystal balling is Taylor's philosophy

    McKercher looks pretty small for a midfielder and very left sided. 

    That's ok you look for the half glass full FT well look for his other inumerable skills and the had full approach.

    Looks the offensive option which we need dearly. More fast skilfully in our team the more positive our game plan will be.

    Let’s remind ourselves how good this kid is. How did the AFL just gift him to end Kangas. Ffs. I’m angry.

    We need to get Pick3 if we wish to land Duursma or this kid.

    And North get Sanders as well, its beyond a joke.

    Only if they select him at 2 or 3 or they trade up into the top 10 with their other picks. They can't match a bid within 40 like everyone else.

    McKercher all the way for mine. Whenever he gets it he’s always looking to do something damaging with it. He has massive hurt factor and is aggressive 👍👍👍

    North are taking Mckercher and Duursma unless they get pick 1 then it’s Reid and Mckercher. They also are keeping an open mind on Curtin, but that may have just been Clarko playing mind games with West Coast

    Interesting. 

    Both Hawthorn and Bulldogs are said to be looking at mid types. If we don't move up it may look like..

    Scenario 1

    1. Eagles  - Reid

    2. Gold Coast - Walter

    3. North - McKercher

    4. North - Duursma

    5. Hawks - Watson/Sanders

    6. Bulldogs - Watson/Sanders

    7. Demons - Curtin, O'Sullivan

     

    Scenario 2

    1. North - Reid

    2. Gold Coast - Walter

    3. Eagles - Curtin

    4. North - McKercher

    5. Hawks - Duursma

    6. Bulldogs - Watson/Sanders

    7. Demons - Watson/Sanders/O'Sullivan

    Reckon the Dogs will take Watson, think we will take Sanders

     Surely north would want O’Sullivan, take Ben McKays spot. They are desperate for more of a lockdown defender. Rather than curtin

    They have a surplus of potential midfield stars

    Could be perfect for them swapping 3 with our 6 plus our future first ??

    Curtin has several strings to his bow and potential across all 3 lines. As said on another thread, North are into him and whilst that may be Clarkson playing mind games with West Coast, he has let it be known he sees Curtin as part of their future spine.

    Whilst he has several attributes and could be anything don’t think for 1 minute he can’t play a lockdown 1 v 1 roll.

    Watch his game for WA vs Allies when they moved him onto Walter. There’s also several WAFL seniors games to review him

    So you'd still have Curtin ahead of O'Sullivan, mate?

    Was very impressed with Curtin's performance on Walter.  The other one that stuck in my mind was how he played against Vic Country. Outstanding game.  Curtin and Reid going blow for blow to try and get their teams over the line. That high in the draft you look for players that can influence the game and help turn momentum in your favour. Curtin and Reid showed this in spades that night.

    Would happily have Curtin if he's there at pick 6/7.

    Curtin helped coach one of the development squads at Claremont this year , mate of mine worked with him and said he was fantastic with the players no ego and fully engaged with the program

    Very hard thing to read, but does he come accross as a kid who could move to Melbourne and cope okay? if he's there at pick 6 he'd be the obvious choice, but i can only see him sliding because of go home concerns, he's too good to not go in the first few picks otherwsie i'd have thought

    I think he’s been prepared for the last few years to move interstate and without being 100% certain I think he’s the type that will embrace the club which picks him and want to build something special. Very loyal person to his teammates

    Well, if WC don't want to play ball with us so that we can get Reid, then more than happy for us to pick Curtin at 6.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
